I just wanted to share this poem by Charles Bukowski.
North American writer and poet, who has inspired creatives from around the world…Now is the turn for entrepreneurs to be inspired by his words.
To go all the way…

A place for new founders or entrepreneurs looking for tips, experiences and practical advices!
After a few, but intense, weeks away from the paper, where we made public the first beta of SlidePick. I can come back here and finally say to the world that we have a Startup (amazing post about this by @matthewkremer).
During this time I had the chance to reflect about the work I was doing, the decisions I’ve made to fulfill this dream. Trying to recap the teachings that I’ve learned from the amazing people I’ve met during this time.
In this process of decomposing my entrepreneurial DNA, one word constantly appeared on my thoughts…
Resilience

“I’m just not the creative type”
So we have this terrible, big and absolutely wrong misconception about what it’s creativity and how it works…All summed in one phrase. This idea that creativity is a “Trademark” exclusively for some people, who are born with this divine gift. For the rest of us is nothing left more than the illusion of being part of this exclusive “club” and to admire the ones who are there.
But I will prove you wrong! And that’s the fundamental base of this post. To erase this misconception and set the ground for you to explore your creative side and to change the way you approach, at the end, to life itself.
Last year I started working on my first startup (SlidePick). That was the first time I probably heard the word “startup”…So yeah, I’m not what you could call an “expert” (I don’t even believe in that word).
Starting wasn’t easy. As a new founder there were 4 factors that frightened me the most (and still do) which I thought they could have killed my startup…Or maybe they will.

It’s monday morning of an ordinary week of your life, you wake up to work and the first thought it comes to your mind is “Can’t believe the week is just starting”. It’s Friday 6 pm, you are going home from work celebrating that the week has ended.
Sounds familiar? If yes, then you are fucked up…Why is that?
WARNING: If you work from 9 am-5 pm without a purpose and it’s “Ok” for you…Please don’t waste your time reading this and continue with your “Ok” life
